I'm not trying to be a jerk but are you guys being purposely obtuse?
The article plainly states that racial crap was written about the white family in the street. Rodney correctly pointed out that this would have been national news with civil rights lawsuits filed and a day of healing had this been done to a black family.
There is a huge racial double-standard in this nation. THAT is Rodney's point.
Ah, I missed the sentence that stated that Stephens is white. When I read it, I didn't see that part, and thought that the writer was implying that Wes was white but never came out and said it. My bad, but in my defense, I haven't been sleeping that well and have only had one cup of coffee today.
I'm not being obtuse. I worked till about 3 am and I guess my coffee needs a bit more jet fuel. I just missed the line while reading the story.
